    Yeah, you definitely have awhile. I forget that not everyone lives in a world where another fully growed person in the plane puts you over 400lbs, and has an offensive lineman for a son. Also, when I replied to Unit 74's comment about mistakes, I wasn't implying this one was one. More of an...

    I think it's a very rare individual that learns this lesson from someone else's mistakes. I think we all need our faces slapped at least once before we learn that. The best we can hope for is that it's only once, and we can afford it when it happens.

    Sorry, didn't play by the rules (this Tiger or this Cheetah). If the Tiger were still in play, I would have recommended that, based largely on the frustrations I'm currrently experiencing. Avionics are easy to add, Airtex interiors aren't terribly expensive, and you can't improve UL. Since...

    I know your kids are younger, and you're probably not as stout as I am. But we bought a Cherokee 140 for sentimental reasons with a UL of 850#. We're already pushing gross if we want to fly any more than 1:30 or so. You'll get further on that 1:30 than I will, but it's pretty limiting when...

    Eggs fried in bacon grease...

    First time I ever saw that was when my chef brother in law came to visit. He put a little brown sugar and crushed red pepper on it, then baked it on parchment paper. It was amazing.

    Eggs fried in bacon grease...

    Bacon is the ultimate additive. I was talking with a friend of mine who said he doesn't like dove meat. Told him that he hadn't had it the way I cook it. Add a slice of jalapeño, silver of cheese, wrapped in bacon, and then grilled over charcoal or open fire. His response was that you could...

    Best Plane to buy to use is an Air Freighter

    Gross of 25,000# and work off dirt or grass? Basler DC-3?

    Zsa Zsa passes at 99

    My wife just told me about this, and my first thought was "How is 6PC doing with the news?"

    (NA) College vs NFL

    Look at it this way. Even a team like 'Bama, you're going to have maybe 10 NFL caliber players, at most? Compare that to an entire team of NFL caliber players.

    Cherokee 140/160 prop pitch

    125kts or mph? I only get 105kts in my stock 140. I heard good things about the Powerflow, but are you really seeing an extra 20kts?

    Where do you complete your run-up?

    One extra piece of mind for doing the run up closer to the runway is taxiing on one tank, and then doing the run up on the other to insure both are feeding. Not sure this helps much of you've got 4 tanks, though. For those of you doing run up during the taxi, are you just riding the brakes for...

    Flying again...

    Congrats on getting back! Cleburne is a nice field. Are you renting that Mooney from someone on the field, or is it yours?

    Best fast food burger?

    Ha! If I thought it would make a difference, I'd tell you to go for it. But he is in the back all the time, so you would just get a funny look!

    Feels like a very long day today

    Ketchikan was our favorite stop on our cruise a couple of weeks ago. Flew with Michelle Madsen at Island Wings through the Misty Fjords. Was an absolutely AMAZING time.

    Vortex Generators on the spinner?

    I actually thought about you on our trip to Alaska a few weeks ago. My exact thought was "between the 4 doors and all the double-entedre beaver jokes, this is the perfect plane for Bryan!"

    Omaha

    According to Google, either MLE or CBF are only 5-10 minutes further away than OMA. I found it on the internet, so I have to assume it's true. My thought was that it would be worth the extra travel time to avoid the hassle and expense I assumed came with landing at a Class C airport like...

    Omaha

    So, my beloved Horned Frogs are in the College World Series. *IF* they continue to do well, and are still playing when I'm off this Friday, I'm seriously considering making the flight to go see them. The two airports that are nearest are Millard (KMLE) and Council Bluffs (KCBF). Anyone have...

    Best fast food burger?

    Yes, but you do have a new Stuben's in Arvada (my brother in law is running it). So you have that going for you, which is nice.

    How bad is storing your plane on tie downs and not in a hangar?

    It certainly has come from together.
